What power do the words UNITY or DIVISION really have? Quite a bit if you ask me. The goal of this petition is to change a major street name in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The street name is DIVISION AVENUE, and our hope is to change it to UNITY AVENUE.

3 reasons WHY we should change it:
1. It is a proactive action that sets a positive tone for what Grand Rapids is about.
2. It shows the city, state and country that we prefer to unite instead of divide as a community.
3. It demonstrates that we can come together to make a change for the better.

If you believe in this idea and the effect it can have, please sign and share this petition to show your support!

For many years, since the late sixties running through the fields of poverty and strife as like a little child running through high corn fields with no way to see ahead / future, the fields are too high as the fields of poverty and strife.

Nigerian youths and generations have been pawns in the hands of divide and rule Nigerian Lords who stop at nothing to achieve selfish aims while committing treasonable felonies such as sabotage, religious incitements, malicious propaganda and militancy in all forms, inclusive of religious fanaticism, sectional secession threats and resources control agitations. Thereby, wasting valuable human lives, time and resources with the same repetitive cycle at the behest of the Lords of Nigeria.

Yes, there may be genuine grievances here and there just as there are many root causes for these problems. We only just voted in a new Government from an opposition party against a sadly inept ruling party of 16 of our new democracy.

Let us behave responsibly and patriotic and while we wait in patience and support of the new Government we must learn how to seek constructive solutions and redress to our collective issues. Violence is not the way! One Nigeria! No to Boko Haram! No to Biafra!

For a nation to succeed certain characteristics are required. One of these is Unity. By signing this Affirmation you are embracing the call for Papuan Unity and helping build the character of a nation.

“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Facebook is another media venue in many ways. Our information is linked with search engines, "likes", "shares" and "comments" then compiled and sold to manufacturers, businesses and producers to solicit and target us consumers.

Facebook is also a place where we perpetuate and reciprocate those very ads with "likes", "comments" and "shares". This behavior bleeds into our social life and we live out media propaganda learned through Facebook and other media sources. This mindset has created divide, distrust, dislike and disharmony. People are beyond bullied, groups of people are denounced and torn apart, hurt and hate is spread, as well as love and acceptance and caring.

We are looking for petitioners to pledge to be a better Facebook Community Steward, to denounce what is wrong and hurtful, to stop the ongoing targeting and cyber bullying simply to fit into a mold cut out for you, by "them", a "them" with only "their" best interest at heart...We pledge to "share" and create positive messages, statuses, replies, posts, pics and the like...We pledge to continue to "report" immoral, unethical, hateful and hurtful behavior online and on "pages"...We pledge to reply outspoken, standing against hate and with love, taking action against any and every post and page creating divide and separation, to unite us as people rather than divide us as groups...:-)

When you look at all of the problems facing the world today--environmental exploitation, animal cruelty, hunger, poverty, greed, war--you can see the fundamental problem: a mindset which perceives everything as separate, competing entities.

In the words of noted quantum physicist Dr. Amit Goswami:

"The ultimate disease--the root disease--is the illusory thinking that we are separate from the Whole. To heal the disease is to realize that we are Whole, that the separation is but an illusion."

The goal of this petition is to heal the world's fragmented mentality through promoting an ethical system based on the belief that everything emanates from One, Supremely Good and Beautiful Source, and, therefore, everything is essentially One.

This simple belief provides a logical basis for the pursuit of love, compassion, and respect, healing the world on a fundamental level.

This belief is so universal and so powerful, it is high time it receives its due honor and support.

"The ultimate victory will not be the one with the most powerful weapons. It will be the one with the most powerful spiritual vision."--Rabbi Simon Jacobson

History has shown that the true strength of the Jewish people lies in its relationship with G-D and with each other. As Rabbi Nosson Scherman has noted, "It is axiomatic in Jewish thought that the ultimate physical survival of Israel depends on its spiritual standing."

In light of this reality, we ask you to sign this petition seeking Divine protection in the quest for peace in Israel and the world.

If we can obtain at least 1,000 signatures, we can offer this petition at a special prayer service to be announced on this site.

Basic Medical Sciences have been taught to medical and dental students by teachers holding a post graduate degree in Faculty of Medicine with a MSc or Ph D for the past so many years.

Many physicians and clinicians have been taught by them for so many years. They have chosen this profession for teaching not practicing in spite of knowing they cannot do any other job other than teaching. They have done yeomen service to the cause of education for so many years. They are part and parcel of the system who cannot be uprooted because now their services seem not required or job opportunities for Medical teachers are limited.

Comparisons are odd and it is not scientific and the wordings like these MSc are not equivalent to MScs from Western Nations indicates indirectly to accept MScs as equally qualified to teach. These courses were commissioned by doyens of Medical Education like Dr.A.L.Mudaliar, Dr.C.Goapalan and others are well recongized. They were commissioned to create a group of teachers who will stick to the job of teaching. They do not have the luxury or the intention many medical teachers who when given a suitable clinical settings will leave the job or practice in their spare time.

Please do not think of disintegration but think of unification for unity in diversity is the norm in any field. It is up to the medical educationists how best one can utilize the human resources available for medical education.

This September 2011, the Palestinian Authority, in clear contravention of peace agreements entered into with the State Israel, will seek United Nations recognition of “Palestine” on lands still in dispute, without bilateral agreement.

In light of this unilateral action, Israel has no choice but to respond unilaterally should the Palestinian Authority commit this violation.

Every generation has to pick its leaders. Its hero. It movements. This is the time we claim what is ours! The current generation of young adults have the passion, ingenuity, the tools and the opportunity to accomplish this goal.

The time is now. To break enormous political barriers that exist in the current electoral system. A system which favors candidates that have the backing of only the two major parties and the backing of billions of dollars to fuel their campaigns. These billions are essentially bribes to direct policy.

These two men are out casts in their parties. Essentially they are true liberals and true conservatives. Ones who actually are true in their values of why they choose to label themselves liberal or conservative.

Around the beginning of September, 2010, players of Zynga's Yoville discovered a glitch involving Mystery Deals which players could send to their friends through social networking site, Facebook.

The glitch allowed players to click more than once, sometimes up to thousands of times on one offer. Players would use this method to build up millions of coins or hundreds to thousands of yocash (an in-game form of revenue that players must pay real money to gain.)

Yocash was one of the biggest temptations for players to turn to this glitch, as our baffled economies combined with the fact that lately in Yoville, a player cannot buy a bed, couch, toilet, hairstyle or hat without the use of yocash.

Unity Day was born in 1978 on Belmont Plateau and has since become the nation’s largest outdoor radio event. This keystone Philadelphia event celebrates family values, pride, and empowerment. Thirty years and counting. That’s how long WDAS FM’s world famous Unity Day has been going on, making it a part of Philadelphia history now.

WDAS recently announced that "due to the difficult economic times," the station could not produce Unity Day this year. Last week Clear Channel announced that John Rohm, who manages its stations in Pittsburgh, would also be market manager of the Philadelphia cluster, which consists of WDAS, Power 99, Q102, Radio 104.5, Rumba 1480, and My106.1.

For humanity to move forward successfully in the 21st century, a spirit of unity
must be cultivated within the hearts of all nations and people.

A foundation must be laid that will allow each nation to grow and prosper
individually, but also collectively within the context of an interdependent global
community.

A successful future for all nations and people depends upon strengthening the
bonds of our commonality as human beings, while honoring our differences.

To create a healthy global environment for all nations to overcome the struggles
they face, we must recognize that all have erred, all have faults and none are
perfect, yet each has cultural gifts to share.

Let us recognize and value those gifts. Let us celebrate the wealth of our
diversity and strive to learn from each other and help one another in a spirit of
openness, understanding, trust and respect.
